Seeed Grove Starter Kit

Grove is a modular electronic platform for quick prototyping. Every module has one function, such as touch sensing, creating audio effect and so on. Just plug the modules you need to the base shield, then you are ready to test your idea buds. We have picked the Seeed Grove Starter Kit for Arduino as starting base but you can add additional Grove modules as well.

The included Grove modules plug into the included arduino shield. This shield works with any arduio-pinout compatible board, like the FEZ.

Warning

Pay attention to the 3.3V-5V switch on the shield. The rotary and temperature sensors only work with 3.3V but the RGB character display only works with 5V.

Since the character display connects to I2C and only works with 5V. We have modified one of the I2C sockets to be always 5V. This allows us to keep the switch at 3.3V, leaving all other sockets at 3.3V.
